Chapter 2562: Communication Mythallar Construction

Of course, having difficulties does not mean one should give up, but the Tower of Time's current reality simply cannot support Xia Duo in completing research in this area; he will certainly continue to invest in it once conditions allow in the future.

After all, the prospects of a "hot update" for the Mythallar are too tempting.

……

Inside the Teleportation Hall.

Xia Duo carefully examined the projection process of the Plane Exploration Array's Perception Field into the Ether Interlayer, adding a new Perception Field projection path for the active exploration mode.

Originally, there was only the Ether Interlayer option, but now the Shadow Plane option has been added; unlike conventional Detection Arrays, the Plane Exploration Array focuses more on detecting the external characteristics of a plane.

As for probing the interior of a plane, it is actually far less effective than conventional detection development, but Xia Duo is not really trying to explore the interior of the Shadow Plane right now, and even if he were, that is a matter for the future.

Now, he needs to continuously observe the state of the Shadow Plane to learn of its possible connection to the Eastern World.

According to his speculation, if the Eastern World is indeed on the Main Plane, then once the order in the Eastern World becomes chaotic, a loophole allowing for human traversal might appear in this known region where the Northland is located.

It is highly probable that some omens will appear in the Shadow Plane; these omens might appear internally, but they will certainly manifest in the overall state of the plane, even if that whole might not be complete.

Some data provided by the Tower of Time indicates that we have not solved that problem either; perhaps we have a brand-new design concept for the exploration array, but it just hasn't been told to Xia Shao.

To observe the Main Plane, one needs to build a new Plane Exploration Array; wanting to integrate it into the existing exploration array is not easy to do.

Perhaps Xia Shao's comfort had an effect; the emotions Niya revealed in the Ruier Network were clearly much more stable, and as for the others, they were calm from beginning to end.

If one follows up by popularizing education, then it might eventually evolve into a competition of total population.

But compared to the total population of Netheril of over ten million, this small number is nothing.

"Construction of the Communication Mythallar begins!"

"..." Not to mention, this is still on the Main Plane; if it causes a bad influence, I'm afraid it will leave a shadow for a lifetime.

On one hand, the Main Plane is close at hand, and the detection array itself utilizes the space-time fluctuations of the Main Plane in the Ether Interlayer, similar to the feeling of eyes being unable to see themselves.

In the previous prophecy, Xia Shao could see in future announcements that the Inland Lord Alliance was mentioned many times; this might be lords who are sensitive to the trends of the new era realizing the essence of future competition, taking the lead in raising their banners to win over more allies.

On a spellcasting ground that had been cleared, the high-level Mages of the Tower of Time stood with calm expressions in their respective positions, waiting for Niya's start command.

Xia Shao looked at Niya with expectation, asking if she could start the experiment; encouraged by Xia Shao, Niya quickly completed her psychological preparation, her eyes becoming much sharper, and she nodded slightly, letting Xia Shao step aside before issuing orders in the Ruier Network—

This belongs to the category of basic research; the magic research of Netheril on the Main Plane is more inclined toward practicality, and long-term investment without output is something even the Tower of Time cannot afford.

Seeing this scene, Xia Shao knew he was right to come back, and he also sensed Niya's worry, so he comforted her privately in the Ruier Network:

Let them engage in basic research; even if the Tower of Time were willing, would these geniuses, who look like they are sitting on the bench, be willing to do it? This is truly a question mark.

It also requires a total population that matches the ideology; otherwise, with just this handful of people sitting around daydreaming, even if others are conservative, as long as a little bit of the Wisdom and productivity of the masses is developed, it would be enough to surpass me.

After all, the Main Plane is close at hand, and theoretically, it is the easiest large plane to observe; it's just that in the past, few people may have observed, recorded, or studied the space-time state of the Main Plane in the Ether Interlayer.

Xia Shao was glad that he had already gained an advantage among the Netheril Lords; a total population of over 500,000 is not necessarily unique in Netheril, but it certainly ranks in the forefront.

Thinking of this, Xia Shao could not help but feel a sense of urgency; in terms of open-mindedness, those lords in the Inner Land definitely cannot compare to him, but ideology alone is not enough to allow him to occupy an absolute advantage in future competition.

Therefore, in the future, it is necessary to continue maintaining the existing population policy—encouraging childbirth and actively introducing people from the outside, while also striving for more allies.

Not to mention the "waste" of human resources; when magic popularization has not yet begun in current Netheril, every Spellcaster, especially a Spellcaster capable of engaging in plane exploration, is a top-tier genius.

All they need to consider is the Spellcasting itself; having participated in the construction of a Mythallar once and succeeded, they naturally will not have too much psychological pressure.

On the other hand, the interior of the Main Plane is the easiest to observe, and by extension, if the Eastern World can hide a region of the Main Plane and make it difficult for others to detect it from within the plane, then the exterior of the plane is very likely their preferred choice for concealment.

After all, they are not the host of the ritual like Niya; the psychological pressure on the assistants is much lower, not to mention that the consideration of external factors has also been blocked by Niya and Xia Shao.

"Confirm standard time 07:02:13!"

Of course, these are all long-term plans; for the immediate future, there is the Mist Event and climate anomalies from the prophecy, so after adjusting the Plane Exploration Array, Xia Shao left an Operating Manual for the two duty officers and quickly returned to the Laboratory.

From this perspective, the Tower of Time will remain the most competitive force in Netheril in the future; even if there are inevitable conflicts of interest within the Tower of Time, the long-standing tacit understanding of unity is something many lord alliances cannot compare to.

The pressure is all on Niya; it is indeed pressure, but under pressure, one can also grow more.

Although he did not receive a notification from Niya, Xia Shao, who had already received news from Dewan the day before, still returned his consciousness to his main body very punctually to provide the final guarantee for the Communication Mythallar construction hosted by Niya.

Of course, there is another more direct way, which is to observe the Main Plane itself directly, but unfortunately, this is actually not easy to do.

And at this moment, Niya was a bit hesitant; she was full of confidence during practice, but when it came time for her to personally host such a large spellcasting project, she still inevitably felt nervous.

The second day.

"I have already greeted the Northland Alliance in advance, so don't worry about them coming to cause trouble in the name of a Supermagic Event; start the experiment, even if it fails, don't be afraid, the Magic Net environment on the Main Plane is easier to stabilize than the Blue Crystal Plane, I will handle everything!"

About one mile north of Savile Town.

In the process of adjusting the projection path of the exploration array's Perception Field, Xia Shao was constantly pondering: once the trend of popularizing education becomes prevalent, if the Tower of Time cannot keep up, how long can they maintain their advantage?

……

"The timing instructions are as follows—

Afterward, the main consciousness returned to the avatar still in the Arctic to continue searching for traces of the Mythallar Control Center.

But if one were to design an exploration array, or Detection Array, specifically for observing the Main Plane instead of integrating it, it would actually not be considered difficult.
